Didn’t most news organizations last week tell us that Ebola was NOT very contagious? (ie high fatality rate, but low contagious rate?)

No, not good news. WHO continues to demonstrate their incompetence. They still think fear of ebola is worse than ebola itself.

Instead of setting up a lab in the containment area, they insist on sending samples airborne to “WHO approved laboratories”. Get off your ass and approve a local laboratory.

They still haven’t called for a quarantine, while many of the surrounding countries and the infected countries themselves, have finally started the process of quarantines.

Having an authority that refuses to take the necessary steps to contain is far worse than having no authority at all.

Obama is more worried if an obscure aids stricken african nation is not going to repress sexual gay promiscuity and keep open borders despite ebola and the evil of islam.

And the genocide program goes on.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Why countries with Ebola victims are not quarantined from air and ship travel to other is puzzling. Anyone wishing to travel from there should be subject to a 3 week quarantine if they have to travel outside the country.

It would seem these west African countries could be quarantined if not easily at least reasonably well. It's not like is a lot of travel to and from them and their seacoasts are a long way from most other countries except remote basket cases like themselves.
